Almost a decade ago over a big drink in a small bar late one night in Italy ... 2 mates We decided that when we returned to Australia we would attempt to make our perfect Shiraz. Naturally, our wives were a little skeptical. However, we convinced them with our cunning logic, if we don’t sell any of it, we can always drink it. That’s how the 2 Mates story started and it has been an enjoyable journey ever since.

Three Dark Horses is a new, boutique winery established in the McLaren Vale area. The owners are Matt Broomhead, an energetic young winemaker, and his father Dr Alan Broomhead. Matt developed and refined his craft, first at Rosemount, and then as a winemaker at Coriole, both in McLaren Vale. Three Dark Horses developed from a desire to make refined premium red wine using locally sourced fruit. The winery is fortunate to have three excellent growers that we work with each year to ensure that the fruit is of outstanding quality.
